Resources for planning ahead - US to Canada

World Registration

Published

I'm a nursing student, currently in an ADN program but starting work on either a RN to BSN or RN to MSN bridge program immediately after graduating from the ADN program.

I am interesting in moving to Canada at some point. My mother is Canadian and I have a lot of family there, so living and working there would be sort of a "back to my roots" thing.

Obviously, there will be a great many hoops to jump through between securing legal immigration status and getting licensed to practice nursing in Canada (most likely Ontario, where most of my extended family lives).

Since I like to plan ahead, I was wondering what is the best resource for up-to-date information so that I can be keeping my goal in mind while I am pursing the my degrees here in the U.S.
